tshadow, I feel so bad for you. I know that you're suffering more than the post describes, and in so many ways.
I hope you find some peace today.
I know if it were within you power you would be up and at'em.
I had chronic, severe intractable pain 24/7 from 10-2000 till sometime in late 2006. My pain scale ranged from 8-10 with very few 7s.
I'm having it rough these last 4 or 5 days, emotions, depression, causing worse insomnia, some old pain maybe up to 3, but nothing like I was. I dont know how I stood all that but I did. I don't want you to suffer like that either. I pray you will have less pain and more mobility. Please, Lord, let it be your will. amen...

But remember there are different types of TOS and that not everyone responds the same.
Neuro TOS from over work on a computer is how I got sick. I have had a rib removed with scalenes (as much as they could.) However, I am bedridden most of the time and now have autonomic neuropathy (and developed diabetes which I believe came from taking Lyrica and Cymbalta, because of how fast I got diabetes with these meds, according to my blood testing being done every couple of months.)
I was not a weight lifter. I did not have any "hobby" which could have caused this, as I just worked all of my time, really. Plus, the hand pain came first, then within a few months, TOS came on.
I believe this kind of TOS is from multiple crushes caused by swelling from overuse, and now that my brain / nervous system is damaged, further damage results as I age. I believe that neuro TOS can cause an immune type response also, which creates the swelling (inflammation) issues which hurts more nerves and causes pain.
Since 11/02 I have been in pain, and since 2003 I have not had a day that was less than 5 to 10 in pain. It is a horror. Sometimes I will have a good day, and on those days, I thank God.
